Chapter 23, The Necromancer's Pursuit
Be quiet.
It's too quiet.
The secluded forest should have been filled with all kinds of sounds, the subtle chirping of insects, the crisp chirping of birds, and the swaying of the breeze as it stirred the leaves.
But now, when Erwin sensed a strange sense of disobedience, he realized, and the voices had all disappeared at some point.
And now it's so quiet all around, so quiet that you can almost hear your heart beating.
Seeing Erwin's solemn face, Susan subconsciously wanted to ask him what was going on.
But her mouth had barely opened, and Erwin raised his index finger and made a boo gesture at her.
Susan was confused and didn't understand what Erwin was trying to do, but she knew that there was always some truth to his actions, so she did as she could.
The two of them remained motionless, like two statues, and the forest was extremely quiet, except for the sound of their increasingly thick breathing.
At this moment, Susan saw Erwin's eyes suddenly widen, and the next moment she suddenly reached out and grabbed her collar and pulled forward hard.
This bastard!
Susan cursed angrily in her heart, and at this moment, she thought that Erwin was trying to do something wrong to her, and the infantry longbow in her hand was about to be thrown in his face.
But then Susan heard a clear whistling sound coming from her back, as if a sharp weapon had swept across her back, and her fluttering head was immediately cut off.
Susan's whole person was pulled behind by Erwin, and when she looked back, she already understood, it was a skeleton soldier with a shield, who had been quietly hiding in the grass and sneaked behind her, if it wasn't for Erwin who sensed the danger at the critical moment, I'm afraid Susan would be in a different place by now.
The skeletal soldier failed in his sneak attack, and the turquoise flames in the eyehole kept beating, chasing and slashing without stopping.
Susan stroked her violently beating heart, and her right hand immediately reached into the quiver, but before she could make the next move, a black shadow flashed in front of her, and Erwin had already drawn his iron sword and rushed forward.
The distance between the two was extremely close, and when they took a step forward, they entered the range of the longsword's attack, and the skeleton soldier held a shield in his left hand, and the mountain rock sword in his right hand slashed at Erwyn with a powerful diagonal slash.
Erwin also slashed out with an oblique slash, but the moment he made his move, he had already released the skill [Triangle Continuous Slash]
The two weapons slammed into each other in mid-air, making a piercing sound of gold and iron, the strength of the skeleton soldier was much stronger than that of ordinary adults, but the upgraded Elwin was stronger than it, and with the bonus of the [Triangle Continuous Slash] skill, the power of this ordinary slash had far exceeded his own basic attack power.
Unable to even stalemate, the skeleton soldier's longsword was already pressed backwards by Erwin's iron sword, but it didn't take a step back, but slammed the shield in its left hand over.
The steel shield whistled in, with sharp iron nails on it, and it was no joke to smash it on the body, and Erwin had already suffered once when he was on the banks of the cold stone river, so he was naturally reluctant to eat it a second time.
At this time, the attack of the first stage of [Triangle Continuous Slash] has ended, and then the attack of the second stage is connected.
Originally, the Iron Chopping Sword was slashed downward at an angle, but after the second attack swing, the blade changed from an oblique slash to a horizontal slash in an action that defied the laws of physics, and on the basis of the same strength and degree.
After unleashing the [Triangle Continuous Slash], Erwin couldn't even control his movements, and his arm completed this qiē beyond his limit.
The blade slashed across the Skeleton Soldier's chest, and the sharp blade severed a row of ribs, then slashed at the Skeleton Soldier's smashing shield, sending it flying.
After the blade slashes the same length as the oblique slash, the second attack of [Triangle Continuous Slash] has ended, and then the attack of the third stage is quickly connected, changing from a horizontal slash to an inclined upward pick.
The degree of the three-stage attack is so fast, when the first snow-bright sword light has not dissipated, the three-stage attack has been completed, and a complete triangular sword light is instantly formed, which is the origin of the name [Triangle Continuous Slash].
The last blow went up, directly slicing the skull soldier's head open, and the sharp blade slashed the soul fire in the skull, and the entire skeleton immediately fell apart with a bang.
The confrontation between Erwin and the skeleton soldiers was very fast, and Susan had just pulled the bow and arrow out of the quiver when the battle was over.
"You ......"
Susan looked at Erwin, who had cleanly eliminated the skeleton soldiers, with a look of disbelief. She still vividly remembered the wolf-like look of Erwin when he first encountered the skeleton soldier, but it had only been a few days before his combat power had become so strong?
But Erwin was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Susan's surprise, and his gaze began to grow nervous as he scanned the surrounding forest.
"Get out of here, we've been revealed."
Erwin's tone was hurried and uneasy, and by the time he said this, the man had already slipped into the woods with his iron sword, and Susan was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed him.
Erwin was right, since the skeleton soldier had already appeared here, it meant that the necromancer was not far from the two of them.
The two of them kept running through the dense forest, and Erwin tried to think of a way to escape in his mind as he ran, and the reason why he was so nervous was because the skeleton soldier's vision was shared with the necromancer.
Once these skeletons are seen, whether he can solve it or not, the necromancer hiding in the shadows will definitely show the traces of the two of them.
At that time, it will not be as simple as one or two skeletons, these skeleton soldiers can only be regarded as average for the current Elwin, but if they add a ring of necromancers, he and Susan really have no chance of winning.
Susan caught up with Erwin, and the only sound in the quiet woods was the sound of the two of them running, but it didn't take long for a sound to the left of the two of them, as if a wild beast was galloping through the grass, and with this movement, the whole forest seemed to come to life in an instant, and there was a rustling sound in all directions.
Susan glanced back as she ran, and through the shadows of the trees, she saw a skeleton that was catching up with them.
"Elwin"
Susan's face changed, and she appeared from all sides with skeletons in shape, forming a shrinking encirclement, which made her cry out, and there was no need to keep it secret at this time: "We are surrounded." ”
"Leave this alone!!"
Erwin replied without looking back, he had already thought of a route to escape, and then quickly ran up the mountain, just past the ridge to avoid the pursuit of the skeleton soldiers.
A skeleton soldier emerged from the grass in front of him, just in the way of their escape, Erwin did not stop, his right hand flicked violently, and the iron sword in his hand drew a clear trajectory and flew forward, passing through the gap between the skeleton's shield and the iron sword, piercing the head burning with green flames.
The two of them crossed the fallen skeleton, and Erwin drew his iron sword and rushed up the rugged mountain.
The skeleton soldiers also seemed to have shown Erwin's intentions, no, it was better to say that the necromancer hiding in the shadows appeared, and it immediately controlled dozens of skeleton soldiers and surrounded the mountain, forming a half-moon-shaped encirclement, blocking all the roads down the mountain.
There was a low whistling sound from behind, Erwin glanced back, and cold sweat broke out all over his body in an instant, only to see a large cloud of turquoise venom swept through the gap between the dense trees, and smashed towards the two of them quickly, and the branches and leaves of the trees that touched the venom along the way were all corroded into white smoke in an instant.
A ring spell [Venom Explosion], and the necromancer is indeed nearby.
Erwin didn't have time to think about anything else, so he immediately pounced to the side, knocking down Susan, who was following him closely, and the momentum of running high caused the two of them to roll out of the grass.
And that large cloud of venom happened to pass over the heads of the two of them, and slammed into the trunk of a large tree nearly ten meters high, and the powerful venom corroded most of the trunk in an instant, and the remaining trunk was unable to support the huge volume above, and it snapped open, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Erwin got up from the ground, and before he could be surprised by the powerful power of this [Venom Explosion], his eyes had already seen the cloaked figure that appeared under the mountain.
The necromancer also raised his head, and the pair of scarlet gazes under the hood met Elwin's, and the killing intent contained in his gaze made him cold.
This guy is here for me!!
In an instant, Erwin confirmed this, a feeling that was indescribable, but incomparably clear, deeply imprinted in his mind, and he could feel the necromancer's deep obsession with his immortality.
"Let's go!"
Seeing the steady stream of skeletal soldiers emerging behind the necromancer, Erwin no longer had the heart to think about anything other than fleeing for his life, he reached out and pulled Susan and pushed her to continue running up the mountain.
But the two of them were delayed for a while by the necromancer's spell, and the skeleton soldiers behind had already caught up, and they were only a few steps away.
After chasing and fleeing, the two quickly ran up the ridge, and it was at this moment that Erwin suddenly shouted to Susan.
"Susan, can you swim?"
Erwin's words made Susan's running move pause.
"Why do you ask"? She didn't answer directly, but turned around and shouted!
"Where is all this nonsense, will you?" Erwin's voice already carried a hint of anger, and the skeleton soldiers behind him had begun to wave the weapons in their hands and attack his back, but Erwin did not dare to fight back, because he was afraid that he would be entangled after returning his hand, and the two would never be able to run away again.
"When, of course it will!" There seemed to be a sense of hesitation in Susan's tone, but Erwin couldn't care so much: "Turn left from the big tree in front!"
Susan immediately followed his words and turned to the left, and in front of her was a half-man's tall bush, and she plunged into it, but it was soon empty, and the wide field of view made her stop in fright.
Behind the grass was a steep cliff, and the awe-inspiring mountain wind blew, and the height of the cliff made people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
Susan didn't have time to look down the cliff before Erwin rushed behind her, grabbed her and jumped forward.
At Susan's exclamation, the two immediately fell off the cliff.
